Location. The historic CLIFT Hotel in San Francisco, Calif., blends old-world ambience with modern glamour just two blocks from Union Square's dining and shopping venues. This hotel is one-half mile from the Moscone Convention Center and Nob Hill. Both Transamerica Pyramid and AT&T Park are one mile away.
Hotel Features. The eclectic collection of this hotel's modern furnishings provide a drastic difference from its classic Italian Renaissance exterior, originally constructed in 1913. Guests receive preferential access to the hotel's legendary restaurant, Asia de Cuba. Silk curtains, mahogany and leather banquettes, hand-blown Murano glass lamps, and a communal dining table fashioned from hand-etched Venetian mirrors define this elegant setting. Appetizers include lobster pot stickers and coconut-conch ceviche, while popular main dishes include roasted lime and garlic duck and Hunan-style fish stuffed with crab. Legend claims that the bark from a single California redwood comprises the walls of the Redwood Room, the hotel's renowned bar. The 30-foot ceilings, digital art, subdued lighting and leather and velvet furnishings attract celebrities and local trendsetters. Additional hotel amenities include a business center with complimentary high-speed wired and wireless Internet access. Recreational offerings include a fitness center with cardiovascular equipment.
Guestrooms. The CLIFT Hotel has 363 guestrooms with sumptuous bedding consisting of down comforters and 400-thread count Egyptian cotton linens. Custom-made white-birch furnishings complement rich velvet, leather and silk fabrics. Guestroom décor also includes sleigh beds and Venetian-glass lamps and desks. High-speed Internet access, cable television and DVD players are accessible in each room. Bathrooms boast robes and Agua Bathhouse products.
Expert Tip. Check out works by worldwide artists and furnishing collections, including the Louis XVI chair, staged throughout the public areas of this hotel as evidence of a major reconstruction in the 1990s.
